You're only a good, sane, sober, moral, prudent person if you act like you are. Shooting at fleeing shadows ain't it. We simply MUST make sure that we don't act in immoral ways with firearms like this guy. Please take a legal use of force class.

Can we kill this myth once and for all? Pretty please? Seriously! Also note that OC doesn't restrict breathing. It is a vasodilator, not a vasoconstrictor. The breathing problems people experience when exposed to OC are caused by panic and pain.

The OC spray you carry really, really matters. This is likely not Mace brand, but I thiiiiiink Def Tec 0.2%MC spray. Anything below 0.5%MC is weak sauce and should be avoided. Let's keep the discussion about OC, not the rest of this mess okay?
